Vinnie Iyer’s pick against the spread: New York got an inspired, gritty victory against Kansas City, and the Giants will come hard at its NFC East rival with a short-week short trip. The Redskins have had a rough schedule, being swept by the Eagles and losing to both the Vikings and Saints in consecutive weeks. PICK: Redskins win 27-23 but fail to cover the spread.Alex Galchenyuk Authentic Jersey
David Steele’s pick straight up: Since this is the most unpredictable NFL season in a while, bet on this ending up as the most entertaining game of the holiday. Yes, the odds are long. The Giants managed to not wow anybody even while beating the Chiefs last week. Washington’s collapse in the final minutes in New Orleans made their fans (again) question their will to live. Signs are growing that a national audience will be witnessing a lot of empty seats at FedEx Field. Of the two teams that can’t be trusted, the Giants can’t be trusted more. PICK: Redskins, 30-21

Seahawks defense still has it: Rumors of the demise of the Legion of Boom-less Seahawks defense were greatly exaggerated. Seattle throttled the Eagles in handing Philadelphia its second loss and linebacker K.J. Wright said: We know we still have it. We know how good we still are. If they can repeat the type of performance they produced on Sunday, then the Seahawks’ postseason prospects look very much alive.
Russell Lucas Duda Youth jersey Wilson struggled Sunday and the Eagles fear Carson Wentz tore his ACL. Tom Brady is the GOAT but not up to his usual standards. Enter Antonio Brown. With Steelers rookie wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster out for illegal blindside hit to Cincinnati linebacker Vontaze Burfict, Brown took over the Steelers’ receiving corps 锟斤拷 even more than normal, and that is saying something.

Elite Josh McCown Jersey With his 11-catch, 213-yard game Brown, has 39 receptions for 627 yards and six TDs over the last four games alone (all Steelers wins) and is on pace for 1,857 receiving yards, the third highest total in NFL history.

They will be enshrined on July 29, and they’ll go in together. They both began their big league careers in 1977 with Detroit and played 13 seasons alongside each other with the Tigers.

The Tigers tweeted their congratulations to both former players following the announcement.

You learn more about a quarterback when he’s dealing with adversity on the field and his struggling teammates are more dependent on him to come through, and not the other way around. Keenum kept his calm and kept grinding.

Those guys hit hard and they do a good job, but that’s part of being a good quarterback you have to have amnesia, Keenum said. You have to forget about the last play and focus on the next, something that I have learned, continue and try to learn and do today.Mattias Janmark Limited Jersey

Larry Doby Kids Jersey
Austin Rivers hit a 3-pointer from the right wing, putting the Clippers ahead 110-109 with 12 seconds left after he missed a 3 in the right corner and Los Angeles controlled the rebound.
I thought Garrett Celek Jersey that was going to be the one that won it, Williams said.

Beal completed a three-point play with 8 seconds remaining to put the Wizards back in front, 112-110. That set up Williams’ winning shot after the Clippers had blown a 14-point lead in the third quarter.

And the signature win of the season (arguably), the 30-9 rout of the Steelers in Week 5, when the Jaguars picked off Ben Roethlisberger five times? Bortles only threw 14 passes.Limited Mens Deion Sanders Jersey
But it also provided a devastating blow as the Eagles’ thrilling win over the Rams marred by a knee injury to quarterback Carson Wentz, who is feared to have suffered a torn ACL.

Philadelphia’s hopes of making an impression in the postseason look slim minus Wentz, and his injury robs NFL fans of watching one of the most dynamic young players in the league. On that somber note, here’s a look at some of the best local headlines from Sunday’s slate.

If Atlanta wins its final three games 鈥?at Tampa Bay, at New Orleans, vs. Carolina 鈥?it would indeed earn a second straight division title. The fact the Falcons, currently No. 7 in the NFC, also have wins over the No. 5 Seahawks (8-4), No. 8 Lions (6-6), No. 9 Packers (6-6) and No. 10 Cowboys (6-6), means that winning just two out of the final three to get to 10-6 would put them in pretty good shape to get at least a wild card as the sixth seed. The key to that, if they’re not able to sweep the Saints, would be beating the Panthers at home in Week 17.

Buffalo (5-5) has lost three in a row, including last Sunday’s 54-24 loss to the Chargers. Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor did not start that game as Bills coach Sean McDermott chose to go with rookie Nathan Peterman, who then threw five interceptions in the first half as the Chargers built a 37-7 halftime lead.

The Chiefs offense can help the defense and Smith by establishing the run against the Bills, who have allowed 638 rushing yards during their three-game losing streak. Kansas City has the NFL’s 10th-ranked rushing offense led by rookie running back Kareem Hunt, who is second in the NFL with 873 yards. But Hunt hasn’t had a 100-yard rushing game since Week 5 and has been held under 50 yards three times over the last five games.

Not to disparage what is unfolding as the best season Jacksonville (8-4) has enjoyed since its last playoff appearance a decade ago, but even one of the team’s best players admits he’s curious to see just how real the Jaguars are against an established winner like the Seahawks in Sunday’s matchup at EverBank Stadium.

“We’re trying to transcend into that next stage of having people actually worry about us and say, ‘That’s a good team,'” defensive tackle Malik Jackson told co-host Bill Polian and me Tuesday night on SiriusXM NFL Radio. “Who better to come in here than a two-time Super Bowl team (since 2013) that’s at a high level in their confidence, that just beat the No. 1 team in the NFC (the Eagles)?

Marrone recently received a different type of thrill when he learned the Beef Checkoff and National Hot Dog and Sausage Council sent 100 Boar’s Head bologna logs to team headquarters after the coach shared his fondness for the deli meat with the media (go to 1:27 of this video) following Sunday’s 30-10 rout of the Colts.

We made that game a lot more interesting down the stretch than we should have, Jack said. You know, we should have been able to close that thing out with two minutes to go and kind of been able to walk out of there kind of comfortable, feeling good and ready to move on to the next one.Cameron Heyward Authentic Jersey Jack scored a season-high 19 points for a Knicks team that had lost six of eight, including a 116-104 defeat at Atlanta on Nov. 30.

Those are two situations that would appeal to most free agents. In the Broncos’ case, the club can skew a little older in hopes of bringing in a game-winning mentor who could help develop and eventually turn the reins over to Lynch. For the Dolphins, the job could either be a total tear down or a high-priced backup situation for Tannehill.

There are plenty of branches on this decision tree, but only one thing is certain: 2017’s quarterback situations in Denver and Miami are untenable. For the Dolphins, the answer may be as simple as getting their starter healthy once more and surrounding him with insurance policies. For the Broncos, the solution is much more complicated.

In the past, we’ve had trouble in third quarters, Dragic said. But now, we are figuring things out. As long as we continue to play like that, we’re going to win a lot of games.

Memphis lost for the 15th time in 16 games.

For the season, the Sixers are 14th in the Jack Crawford Authentic Jersey league in defensive rating, but Embiid’s absence has certainly hurt. The 131 points surrendered on Sunday were the most all season. Philadelphia has allowed at least 100 points in each of its past nine games.

Minnesota is 26th in the NBA in defensive rating but is possibly coming around on the defensive end after much focus and consternation. The Wolves have held two of their past three opponents below 100 points. Dallas shot just 41 percent in the second half on Sunday.

Adam Vinatieri is incredibly clutch.
Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Matt Murray, who missed five games after suffering a lower-body injury, has been activated off injured reserve Tuesday.

Game Davis Webb Jersey Murray suffered the injury against Philadelphia on Nov. 27. The Penguins next play the Vegas Golden Knights as they begin a three-game road trip Thursday.

Murray leads Pittsburgh with 11 wins in 21 games played.

To make room on the roster, the Penguins reassigned goaltender Casey DeSmith to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

Just when things were looking up for the Jets, they hit rock-bottom against the Broncos with possibly their worst offensive showings in team history.

It was a privilege and an honor to serve as a head coach of the New York Giants and be a member of the organization for four years. I thank the Mara family, the Tisch family, and Jerry Reese and Tom Coughlin for taking a chance on a first-time offensive coordinator and enabling me to take an important step in my career. My family and I enjoyed every day of my tenure with the Giants, thanks in large part to the commitment of everybody in the organization. I particularly want to thank the entire coaching staff for their dedication and hard work.

Harrison Barnes Authentic Jersey I would be remiss if I did not thank the support staff who are often underappreciated Ray Bourque Authentic Jersey but vital to the success of any football team. Finally, I will always appreciate having had the chance to coach so many outstanding players. As I have said many times, they are men of talent, and I believe in their integrity and character. I wish them and the entire organization success in the future.

Jay Cutler will have to watch Sunday’s action from the bench.
The Dolphins (4-6) will look to snap their four-game skid when they visit the division rival Patriots (8-2) at 1 p.m. ET Sunday.

In Oct. 2016, Jones confronted the NFL’s lead investigator, Lisa Friel, over the matter in a hotel bar after hours at an owners meeting. He told her, your bread and butter is going to get both of us thrown out on the street.

In July of this year, he told the press that there was no evidence against Elliott that warranted a suspension. At the beginning of August, Jones was publicly saying that he believed Elliott would not be suspended.

Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones held a locker-room meeting with his team after it was mashed at home on Thanksgiving 28-6 by the Chargers.

His message to the boys? Be thankful, and be ready to come back strong next week.Limited Youth B.W. Webb Jersey
It was definitely a message of support, defensive lineman Tyrone Crawford told reporters (per dallasnews.com). He told us to sit back, take a look at ourselves, take a look at what’s around us, see how blessed we are on this Thanksgiving Day and just go into next week knowing that we’re blessed to be in this position and take advantage of it.Elite Youth Elvis Dumervil Jersey
Kamara has 11 total touchdowns and leads the league in yards per carry (7.0) by LeGarrette Blount Youth jersey more than a full yard. Kamara was my eighth-ranked running back before the draft, as he split time in the Tennessee backfield and had only 210 carries from 2015 to ’16. The Alabama transfer led all running backs with a 39?-inch vertical leap and 10-foot-11 broad jump at the combine.

Antonio Brown missed Steelers practice Friday and Saturday with a toe injury and is listed as questionable for Monday night’s matchup with the Bengals.

The league disputed Jones’ claims with a very direct shot at him.

“Your description of the proposed extension is so at odds with the actual facts that we can only conclude that you are either uninformed or seek deliberately to mislead the other owners.”

When news first broke that Jones was threatening to sue, it was not at all clear what the basis was for the potential lawsuit. This letter clarifies it — he’s trying to get the contract out of the committee’s hands and back to the full group of owners, in the hopes that he can rally enough of them to block Goodell’s deal and send the commissioner packing.

The Jaguars have gotten the ball back with the game still tied. Once again, Blake Bortles has a chance to be the hero, which is to say: He throws another interception. Phil Dawson kicks a 57-yard field goal and the Cardinals win.

As the games wrap up, I knead the mixture that will become tonight’s meatloaf. I won’t go into my mother’s full recipe although putting a recipe at the end of 4000 words of derivative bullshit would make this a typical internet recipe but the combination of ground beef, ground pork, raw egg, bread crumbs, and various sauces and spices is less than pleasant.

It gets better as I go, though, and after I shape the loaf and wash my hands, I put the pan in the oven and watch RedZone’s touchdown montage. It goes on a little too long, but then, so do most things about the NFL.

Former Ole Miss quarterback Shea Patterson announced Monday on Twitter that he plans to transfer to Michigan.
Peters started three games late in the season for Michigan, passing for four touchdowns and 486 yards before a head injury sidelined him for the last week of the regular season. McCaffrey is a former five-star prospect and younger brother of first-round draft pick Christian McCaffrey. He did not play as a true freshman in 2017.

If Patterson can compete for playing time in 2018, it will mark the fourth time in Jim Harbaugh’s four seasons as a head coach at his alma mater that he holds a quarterback competition in the offseason. Peters competed with Wilton Speight, who plans to transfer this winter, and redshirt senior John O’Korn a year ago.

O’Korn and former starter Jake Rudock are both players who transferred to Michigan during Harbaugh’s tenure after starting elsewhere in their college careers.

Earlier this month, Watt posted a video to social media of him taking his first unassisted steps since breaking his leg against the Chiefs in early October.

Watt, who had 13 tackles in four games before the injury, told USA Today Sports Tuesday he’s looking forward to being back on the field with his Houston teammates .

Authentic Womens David Justice Jersey A three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year, Watt said he was devastated after his season ended early to injury for a second year in a row. He’s not the only Texans playmaker on the injury reserve this season. Deshaun Watson (knee), D’Onta Foreman (Achilles), Whitney Mercilus (pectoral) and C.J. Fiedorowicz (concussion) are all hoping to return healthy next year.

No. 18 Washington State (9-3) will play No. 16 Michigan State (9-3) in the San Diego County Credit Union Holiday Bowl on Dec. 28.
There are two sides to every great play. And while Eagles fans celebrate a Miracle at the Meadowlands, the event marks a lowpoint for the Giants. Even in the relative, low-stakes circumstances of a regular season contest in 1978, the play is iconic because it should have been impossible 鈥?but instead was impossibly dumb (much like the Giants benching Eli Manning for Geno Smith in Week 13 of the 2017 season).

The Giants had the Eagles beat. They had possession. And all they had to do was snap the ball and hit the ground. But offensive coordinator Bob Gibson got cold feet after his quarterback had been hit Jason Spezza Youth jersey by an aggressive lineman on the previous play. He called for Joe Pisarcik to hand it off to running back Larry Csonka instead. The play was botched, and then the play became the legend we know: Herman Edwards of the Eagles collecting the fumble, scoring the touchdown and 鈥?somehow 鈥?winning.

Would you risk your kid for a football?

Case Keenum ran it in for a touchdown on the next play, and the Vikings, always good for at least one must-watch touchdown celebration a game, enjoyed a nice little Thanksgiving dinner in the end zone.Brett Cecil Authentic Jersey
Vikings 6, Lions 0: The Vikings are probably thankful for bad handoffs right now 鈥?specifically, the one between Matthew Stafford and Ameer Abdullah. Just like that, the Vikings get the ball back at the Lions’ 39-yard line.

Vikings 6, Lions 0: If you thought Case Keenum looking like a legitimate starting quarterback was a fluke, the Vikings’ first drive proved you wrong.
